Like I said, if you keep trying to dictate to the audience who your protagonist is supposed to be and he still doesn't catch fire the way you want him to, maybe you should reconsider what you're doing. It was no coincidence when the first DMC5 trailer hit, casual gamers thought Nero was Dante at first. When people think of DMC they think of Dante, not of Nero no matter how hard Capcom tried to change perceptions. I don't think that Nero is a bad character per se, but trying to have him both leech off of Dante's popularity while still trying to make him look good at his and other characters' expense, just doesn't seem to be cutting it.
